La Boca is a Spanish restaurant that serves tapas and paella. They offer a full bar, but specialize…read morein Spanish wines. My wife and I decide to create a meal of various tapas. We had the anchovie pintxos, eggplant pintxos, gambas fritos (fried shrimp), and yellow fin tuna. All were excellent. The food arrives as it is prepared, so 3 dishes came out at once, and then the tuna arrived. Our server was helpful in recommending the number of dished we should order, and although we didn't order any wine, we overheard the waitstaff explaining the difference between the various wines. Tables are placed closely together and the place can get noisy. We felt a bit rushed, as the restaurant is very popular and in a hurry to turn the tables. Reservations are a must.

This was my personal favorite dining spot we patronized in Santa Fe…read more I am very partial to small plates and there were plenty to choose from. I suggest mixing in an item or two from each section of the menu so you can experience tapas from each part of Spain. Extensive wine and sherry list adds to the authenticity although the girls reported that their sangrias were outstanding. Service was spotty and the only reason it's not 5 stars.

tldr: THE SOUP This…read moreis a place where a tasting menu would be amazing because I'm sure everything is that good. Before they even bring the menu they bring out 7 moles to taste. Apparently moles aren't all dark chocolate spicy sauces ... ?!?? Loved the education and samples. I'm typically not a mole fan, but they were fun to try. We had the octopus but to me the sauce was too oily. The actual octopus was tender and delicious. Also had the duck skin tacos which were more of a minced duck meat taco and delish. The 5 stars go for impeccable service and the SOUP. This soup is not to be missed. Nothing on paper makes me think it should work but it totally does. It's a big lump of blue crap topped with creamy poblano pepper soup with whipped cream and amaretto and then topped with a spicy kick. Someone said cinnamon but for me it tasted more like hot red chili powder. Sounds incredibly weird but it was the best dish I've had in forever. Waitress was extremely knowledgeable and the chef was very welcoming and present in his cowboy hat! Space was cozy with amazing art. Perfect date night spot but plan to spend a bit of $$$

I was hoping for more based on the menu and reputation…read more The bar was closed for renovations when we arrived and our hope to get a pre-dinner cocktail was not possible. We ended up sitting at the table early and having a drink there instead. We picked a pinto noir from the very extensive and well-composed wine list so it could open up a bit. A tasting of five moles was then brought to the table along with mini tacos to sample and choose which we wanted with our entre. I was partial to the red and New Mexico. As an appetizer I chose the foie gras which was slightly undercooked and had a bit too much berry compote. My entree was the seared duck breast which was also undercooked and difficult to cut. I was hoping for a crispy skin and it was rather soft and chewy. The dessert was good from the couple of spoonfuls I had but I was expecting much more overall.

(Future manager I think) He let me sample some great wines 1) Signature Canyon Five ~ fruity. Unique 2) Heritage Cabernet Sauvignon ~ AMAZING ! I ordered number 2 to pair with my (incredible) FRENCH ONION SOUP If you have that on your menu I have to try it but this was truly exceptional ! Following that I had the New York Strip. Medium rare. GREAT but I did ask for a side of Green Chile. And Garlic Aioli for the potatoes Nicely cooked but I added some salt and chile to make it pop my taste buds. YES. I would order it again the same way The Pork Chop looked great as well Desert was also very good. Truffles and Port wine ...I love Port wine (Spicy chocolate truffles with lovely RED CHILE in them) I think I'd give these guys 6 stars of if I could because Armando was so cool toward me !

You can clearly hear conversations at each table from where we sat. That's my only complaint. On to the food. The menu is great. Our starters were the stuffed squash blossoms that we flash fried. We then had the Spanish Octopus with the lamb sausage and homemade humus. The chickpeas were roasted and provided a nice semi-smokey flavor profile humus. For the entree, my wife had the diver scallops with lobster and black "forbidden" rice. I had the duck dish. Both were very good. Our wine with dinner was a 2022 French Burgundy. It went well with the starters and entrees. We finished with a really nice key lime pie. It was one of the best we had. Not too tangy or sweet. Just perfect. We would definitely come back again when in Santa Fe.

The hostesses let us know they did reach out but the number didn't go through (was wrong in their system). Both hosts were super polite & friendly. They were able to accommodate us. This place is small and they seemed to have reservations the entire evening but they still managed to get us in! We ended up not waiting the entire 45 minutes and were seated at a table for 4, comfortably. We didn't mind squishing in as they did let us know before hand it was for a 4 top. Our server was so lovely and super attentive! She told us the specials, and let us know about the ordering process (everything ordered at once, coursed for us). We started with the focaccia, which comes with olive tapenade & goat cheese. I would die for the olive tapenade recipe! It was SO good. I couldn't stop eating it. Our table also got the octopus, which I did not try, but it had rave reviews from everyone else. We ordered their burger, sea bass special, bolognese, and cocktails in addition to our apps! For dessert, we opted for the blueberry lemon tart, and creme brûlée. So good! I was so full by the time we got to desserts but had to have a few extra bites. I ordered the basil gimlet, which I haven't stopped thinking about. It so tasty, and refreshing! The perfect spring drink that I'm now determined to recreate at home! Everything was delicious! You can tell & taste that everything is made from scratch and fresh! Thanks to the chef & staff! WOULD recommend!!
